Some of my thoughts:
- I'm glad to see some acknowledgement that the "policing" needs to be
done by more than just one or two (or three or four) admins.
- With multiple people posting reminders, an advantage of posting over
e-mail is less duplicated notifications
- I would prefer to see a formal list of folks encouraged to do this and
others asked not to. Why? I think it is important that these policing
notes be:
- accurate (right now for example, chastising someone for
posting a market post in a theme group is wrong, the
TOS and charters currently allow such even though the
stated direction of Lugnet is to restrict market posts
to market groups [or at least keep them out of the theme
groups])
- diplomacy (we don't need firebrands writing these posts)
- respect (someone who has been explicityly deputized will
command more respect and not generate "stop being such a
ninny" posts)

Slim to none?
